RYLA 2026: Four Young Leaders Sponsored by Our Club

PATHUM THANI, 23 to 25 October 2026. Our club sponsored four secondary school students to attend the Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA) 2026, organised by Rotary District 3350 at Pine Resort, Pathum Thani. They joined 280 students aged 14 to 18, supported by 76 Rotary clubs across the district, for three days of leadership training, teamwork and new friendships.

RYLA is one of Rotary's official youth programmes: an intensive leadership experience organised by Rotary clubs and districts for young people aged 14 to 30. Around the world it ranges from a one-day seminar to a week-long camp, with participants learning from community leaders, speakers and peer mentors.

This year's District 3350 camp set out to develop leadership skills and confidence in young people, encourage personal growth and self-awareness, build teamwork and communication skills, develop problem-solving skills, and create lasting friendships among young leaders.

The four students we sponsored were Teeradech Srimueng, Chisanupong Saard, Kunakorn Klinthavorn and Anukun Bualoy. We are proud of all four, and hope the skills and friendships they gained at RYLA stay with them for years to come.

Supporting young people through RYLA is a long tradition for our club. We have sponsored students in previous years, including four students for RYLA 2022 in Nakhon Nayok, and members of our sponsored Rotaract clubs have regularly volunteered as staff at the district camp.

Thank you to District 3350 and the RYLA organising team for a well-run camp, and to our members whose support makes these sponsorships possible. If you know a young person who would benefit from RYLA next year, please speak to our Youth Service team.
